en This is a debate about two completely different judicial philosophies. It's not about a litmus test issue. It's not about one or two issues.

en  'Is there a right to privacy under the Constitution? If so, what does it cover?' These are the broad questions senators must ask, ...

en I have a lot of respect for Senator Frist. We disagree with him on one issue, but it's a big issue. . . .
